We stopped at Henry's Fish Restaurant & Marina on Frying Pan Island because everyone said it was a "must stop" on the Great Loop. It did not disappoint. Henry's is a favorite among the locals who come by boat and float plane. The dining atmosphere is casual and fish and chips was delicious. There is nothing of interest on the island with the exception of Henry's Fish Restaurant. The marina is very small and a bit rustic, with eight or nine floating docks that might accommodate 30-40 boats and four or five float planes. Overnight boaters are moored on the land-side of the docks and the folks visiting for dinner are moored in front of these boats on the water side of the docks. 30-amp power is on the land edge of the docks, so you will need a long power cable to reach from your boat to the pedestal, and you will need to consider where your power connection is on the boat (i.e., stern, bow or mid-cabin) and moor accordingly. The marina area is dog-friendly.

50 amp power, excellent Verizon cell service, no Wi-Fi, adequate bathrooms, no showers, good dock hands. Good water to fill tanks. Restaurant food was very good. Staff was attentive. Restaurant atmosphere is extremely casual. Minor wind and boat waves. Overall a fun experience.

Restaurant has great food in a very rustic location. Fried walleye (pickerel) and pan fried were both delicious. The docks are old and you have to climb cement steps and granite to get to the restaurant. Electric is at front of the dock so you need a long cord. No showers or water available. Restrooms need some TLC. We did not dock overnight since it was a Monday and restaurant is closed.

Wonderful overnight deep water slip, attentive staff and excellent food. I of course had the pickerel and chips and the wife had one of the best steaks she can remember. Eclectic group of people come by boat, seaplane and by helicopter to experience Henry’s. Water, 30/50 amp power, clean facilities, pet friendly.

Stopped in for the novelty that is Henry's. Large and small boats come here to overnight or just stop in for lunch. Food is okay, not spectacular, It's more about the novelty. Boats and Fly and Dine folks stop here just to say they've been here.
